Bio

As a child, I vividly remember hearing a quote from my father (and subsequently Mark Twain); “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” For me, design thinking, the creative process, and the privilege to apply aesthetic talent towards a career has been something of a dream come true.

My career began in visual design and gravitated towards the functional, user-centric work found in product design. Dealing with complex design problems, drafting innovative solutions, and working on the cutting edge of technology – this isn’t just a career for me, it’s a passion.

Kickass designs since 2012.

Brands I’ve Worked With

I highly recommend Scott Pokrant for employment as a graphic designer. I had the pleasure to work with Scott on the MyUA student portal project at the University of Arizona. I found Scott to be not only friendly and collegial, but also highly-motivated, talented and receptive to our specific customer needs

Scott demonstrated expert comprehension of our limitations as well as the unique visual positioning requirements of a university sponsored web-interface. In conclusion, I highly endorse Scott Pokrant. He will be an extremely positive addition to your organization.

Margaret Flint – Senior Business Analyst, University of Arizona

Scott was extremely talented in his design abilities and far exceeded my expectations (and frankly, those of my colleagues and our CEO). Where Scott really shined and impressed me, however, was through his impeccable articulation of the reasoning behind why he designed a specific aspect of our website or company logo.

It’s one thing to design something, which Scott is very talented in doing, however, it’s a completely separate skillset to be able to explain and debate why that item was designed in that specific way under those specific terms and why they work; a skill I came to sincerely appreciate and now expect from designers. Scott’s approach to design and his ability to explain it and debate it sets him apart from any other graphic designer I’ve worked with; and there have been many.

Sarah Wessolowski – Brand Manager, Cambridge Leadership Group

Scott has provided unparalleled support to our firm. Scott was able to capture the essence of our brand quickly and able to turn around complete, polished and premium design solutions each and every time. He truly has an eye for detail but also an ear for hearing what the customer needs, and what the customer is trying to say.

My teams experience working with Scott has been effortless and positive from Day one. They have trusted and waited excitedly to see how Scott would turn their vision in a graphic work of art and intelligence. Through the support of Scott’s partnership and skills, we were able to successfully deliver on solutions to delight our clients. We look forward to partnering with Scott on additional brand awareness and marketing initiatives for our firm.
